Abstract
Christopher Hitchens in his work “God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything.” has most appropriately stated that “[E]xceptional claims demand exceptional evidence.” Henceforth, this paper aims at highlighting the admissibility of electronic evidences in the courts of India and United Kingdom.

Further, the paper discusses the landmark judgments pronounced by the Courts of India and United Kingdom on admissibility of digital evidence and shall be followed by a critical analysis of the notion of United Nations with respect to e-documents.
